The City Park Birding Corridor is a collaborative project between Audubon Louisiana, New Orleans City Park, Grow Dat Youth Farm, and the Orleans Audubon Society. This project establishes a network of spaces within City Park that are managed for the protection and enhancement of bird habitat to support conservation, education and the expansion of opportunities for urban dwellers to understand our natural environment through the appreciation of birds.

Where birds thrive, people prosper
Since birds are at or near the top of their food chain, their populations let us know whether the environment is healthy or not. Just like humans, birds suffer from pollution, poor water quality, and an unbalanced ecosystem. Improving habitats for birds, even in urban areas like New Orleans, is critical to their long-term success. This also has tremendous benefits for human populations. By protecting and planting native plants, we strengthen the food web and create a more resilient ecosystem against pollution, storms, and other threats shared by humans and birds.
